Don’t Tell Me What To Do!

Growing up, we all remember our parents telling us certain things that we thought were just to control us and take away our fun.  And right after that comes those famous last words, “Just wait until you have kids and you will see!”  For me my mom was always wanting to know what I was…

The Center of Gain

It’s funny the things we do when we want something.  People will react in different ways according to how they learned to get what they wanted when they were growing up.  If you are use to getting your way and something stops you from doing that, we all resort back to finding a way to…

FRACTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

You might call me weird, but from the start I have always been a math person.  There is something about problem solving with a definite answer that I loved to try and figure out.  I started with learning how to count my ninja turtles, then moved into the more advanced stuff as I got older. …

A Fairytale come true!

I really hate to admit to this but I remember as a child watching Disney movies and there was always one common theme.  “And they lived Happily Ever After.”  It was this idea of a fairy-tale dream that two people waited their entire life to find that right person, and when they did, everything was…

Going to the Altar

Abraham was challenged with a situation that could have been the hardest choice that he could have ever possibly faced.  Around the ripe age of 75, God made a promise that through his lineage the Messiah would come into this world.  It wasn’t until 25 years later that he finally ushered his son Issac into…

FOMO- Fear of Missing Out

I like to consider myself a man of commitment who tries to always be a person of my word.  Because of this I feel like loyalty and long term dedication requires a strong sense of waiting on the Lord.  But the problem comes in also wanting the very best and not settling for less, so…
